Chapter 396
"I'll take people there in person?"
As he said that, Jia Dajie's face became solemn, "Chen Dexing will definitely go to Putuo Mountain in person!"
"It's a pity that Putuo Mountain is an island, otherwise it would be Bulle's elite soldiers..."
Liao Yingzhong whispered: "Pingzhang Gong, do you think you want the troupes in front of the palace to dress up as monks to go to the island? What if you have the opportunity to take advantage of..."
“There is an opportunity to take advantage of…”
Jia Sidao was silent for a while, and then said, "It's better to take down that thief with one try! Then transfer 500 troops in front of the palace, and 500 elite new troops from the third yamen to put on makeup and go to the island. Follow my orders! In addition, the navy must also arrange a way out!"
"I understand that the new army of the Three Yas has also trained the navy, with fifteen large ships of 3,000 stone."
Liao Yingzhong said: "Although I can't beat Chen Dexing's Nanyang Fleet, I can protect Gong Pingzhang to retreat to Mingzhou no matter what."
"I'm afraid the chance is not great..."
"If there is no chance, let's refute Chen Dexing at the defense conference! My subordinates have thought about it and let Liu Houcun, Lu Junshi, Chen Yuquan, and Huang Qizhi..."
Liuhoucun was Liu Kezhuang, a master of Neo-Confucianism in the Southern Song Dynasty. Lu Jun was actually Lu Xiufu, and now he is aide to Li Tingzhi. Chen Yuquan was Chen Yizhong and Jia Sidao's disciple, and he had already recommended him to be an official. He also won the Jinshi under the arrangement of Jia Sidao. The first class to win military positions in the second year of Xianchun in the past year was the first class to win military positions. Although he was known as martial arts, the Southern Song Dynasty's style of emphasis on civil and military affairs had already entered the bone marrow. Therefore, during the exam, he still used classics, military tactics as the priority, and archery and horse martial arts as the supplement, and he could do it for a few seconds. He passed the pass and then decided on the article. There were five or six hundred Jinshi selected in this way. Most of them arranged military positions according to Li Tingzhi's wishes, and Li Tingzhi first taught them. Then he arranged to go to the imperial guards of the three yamen to lead troops. However, Chen Yizhong and Huang Yong (Huang Qizhi) were both civil servants.
"I don't want to go to Liuhou Village. I'm so old that I can't argue if I go." Jia Sidao interrupted, "Let Wenwen Mountain go to Putuo Mountain!"
"Wenwenshan...he is Chen Dexing's man!"
"He?" Jia Sidao sneered, "How could such a proud and arrogant person be Chen Dexing's lackey? But he was just a label for his friendship in the past."
He paused, "I have to invite a few monks and Taoist priests. Has anyone chosen?"
"Well, the monk is the Jiudeng Master from Lingyin Temple in Lin'an, the Fachang Master from Changqing Temple in Lin'an, the Xutang Master from Ashok Temple in Mingzhou, and the Daxiu Master from Jingshan Temple in Wenzhou. The Taoist priest has a master from the Zhang Ke Dahe Jindan School. "
Liao Yingzhong talked about the masters of the two families of the Southern Song Dynasty. They were all led by the team. I don’t know how many little monks were there.
Liao Yingzhong said again: "It is said that Chen Dexing has also posted a post to Japan, Annan and Khmer. All three countries have Buddhism, and there are probably monks coming. In addition, the Mongolian side and the pseudo-Tang Li Yu will also send people to Putuo Mountain."
Li Yan ascended the throne in Yidu after the Spring Festival in the second year of Xianchun. The country's name was naturally the Tang Dynasty. The reign of the Tang Dynasty was set, which means that the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty would reappear. Of course, he would not miss this opportunity to show his face. However, Li Yan would not be consistent with his son-in-law Chen Dexing on the issue of the defense of Putuo Mountain. Because Li Tang regarded Laozi as his ancestor, Laozi was of course Li Yan's ancestor. Therefore, the serious Taoism was the national religion of the Eastern Tang Dynasty. In addition, Li Yan also attracted the support of the Confucius family in Qufu, Shandong. Naturally, he respected Confucianism and respected Confucianism, which was Li Yan's national policy in the field of political thought.
Jia Sidao thought for a while while holding his beard, then suddenly turned around and asked Liao Yingzhong: "Qunyu, what if Putuo Mountain Defence loses?"
"Lost?" Liao Yingzhong subconsciously shook his head. How could he lose the defense? How could he win the fallacies of the cult of the Heavenly Dao? This is impossible!
"What if, I mean, what if the defense loses?" Jia Sidao added.
"Then... then please give the emperor an order. The Heavenly Taoism is strictly prohibited!" Liao Yingzhong said in a deep voice. "I will definitely not let the Heavenly Taoism spread in the Song Dynasty, otherwise people will change their hearts, and there will always be ignorant people who will be deceived by cults! In this way, Chen Dexing has a foundation in Jiangnan..."
"But... will Chen Dexing come over?" Jia Sidao frowned deeply. "Can Li Tingzhi's new army defeat the Han Shi Army and the Eight Banners Army?"
Liao Yingzhong was stunned. It turns out that he could still use the battle for the Taoist throne?
Jia Sidao pondered and said, "It must be impossible to beat it! We cannot ban this Tiandao Sect! At least we cannot ban it first. The citron that stands out is rotten first! Our Song Dynasty cannot be the citron that stands out! To ban the Tiandao Sect, Kublai Khan and Li Jue must ban it first!"
...
Tang Dynasty, Henan Road, Yidu Prefecture, and Bailian Palace.
The east wind rose again, and the weeping willows in the garden were rippling with the wind. An old white-haired woman sat in front of the window, holding a rosary in her left hand, leaning on the small table under her elbow, leaning against the brocade behind her back. In front of her, a scroll was placed. The scroll was placed vertically on a carved wooden frame, and the ivory body was stuck at both ends of the wooden frame, revealing a two-foot-long piece of plain silk with full of handwriting. The rightmost end of the plain silk was a few vermilion red handwriting: Taiyi Guangming Sutra.
"In the vast universe, there are countless worlds. The highest and most good ones are Taiyi Guangming Heavenly Court. Science is extremely prosperous and material is extremely rich. Everyone can take it as needed..." The old woman chanted in a low voice, then shook her head, drank tea, and sighed a long time.
An old man in Confucian uniform opposite him knelt respectfully. It was Li Yan, the current Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Hearing the old woman sighed, Li Yan hurriedly asked, "Why did your mother sigh?"
The old woman turned out to be Li Yan's mother, the Empress Dowager Yang Miaozhen of the Tang Dynasty, a female hero who was once a scattered among Huainan, Shandong, and the founding leader of the Red Coat Army. After Li Quan, the father of Li Yan, she retreated to Yidu and hid behind the scenes to assist Li Yan. Now she is old and has long been ignored in the world. Unexpectedly, she brought the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who is busy with trouble, to her White Lotus Palace today.
Yang Miaozhen said: "After the birth of silence, how can the prosperity be born; after the revival of the Tang Dynasty, how can there be wisdom!"
"Mom thinks Chen Dexing is the enemy of the Tang Dynasty?"
Yang Miaozhen nodded and said, "Isn't it? You have been working hard for more than 30 years to restore the land of the Tang Dynasty. He has only been in business for a few years? He has a country of Goguryeo! And this Heavenly Dao Sect that surpasses the three religions has also emerged! Isn't it a great enemy?"
Li Qi said: "If there was no such Tiandaoism... Chen Ming might have the possibility of entering the Central Plains. But with this Tiandao cult, Chen Ming Dingtian would be a great Liao Kingdom."
His words are not unreasonable. Chen Dexing now has the force to sweep the Central Plains. His Han army has reached nearly 80,000, while the Eight Banners soldiers have exceeded 20,000, and there are also Korean soldiers who are dependent on him. Li Yan and Kublai Khan have only 100,000 soldiers. The number is comparable to Chen Dexing, and his combat effectiveness is definitely not as good as that. If Chen Dexing did not create this Tiandaoism that the three religions cannot tolerate, but instead followed the traditional political line of Confucianism and Taoism, it would be easy to subdue the powerful families in the Central Plains and Jiangnan. But he established a somewhat alternative Tiandaoism. In the eyes of the Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in the Central Plains, it is a cult! The wealthy families in Jiangnan in the Central Plains, whether they are practicing literature and martial arts, are believers of the three religions. Their views on Tiandaoism are naturally consistent with the three religions!
It is not so easy for a warlord who is regarded as the leader of a cult to establish rule in Middle-earth.
"What if the heavenly way is not evil?" Yang Miaozhen knocked on the table and said, "I have told you so many times. Don't make all the best plans! Don't think that others are fools!"
Li Yan said unhappily: "Mom, the emperor has done it now, why is it just a wishful plan?"
Yang Miaozhen glared at him: "Who is Xian'er? What kind of woman is Mingxia? They all believe that Chen Dexing was the King of Ming who came to the world and knew that the knowledge that mortals did not know was the King of Ming sent by Taiyi God to the mortal world!"
Li Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Xian'er just married her husband and was placed by Yu Mingxia... She likes a stout man like Chen Dexing, but you don't know..."
Yang Miaozhen shook her head repeatedly: "You, and that Wang Wentong, are all virtuous and are smart!" She suddenly lowered her voice, "Chen Dexing will go south to Putuo Mountain soon... When he passes by Shandong, you invite him to meet in Penglai and secretly arrange a military soldier in addition to him!"
"What!?" Li Qi was shocked when he heard this and shook his head quickly, "No, no... As soon as Chen Dexing died, the Beiming would collapse. At that time, the entire Mongolian was pressing on the Tang Dynasty. How could he beat it?"
"There are also fairies! Fifty thousand Hans and twenty thousand Eight Banners. Such strong force will not be able to protect Liaodong and Goryeo? You are too underestimating your daughter."
"No, no, Mongolia has not been destroyed, the Han people can no longer harm themselves. If I kill Chen Dexing, Shi Tianze, Zhang Rou, Zhang Rong, Dong Wenmo, Jie Yan and others will follow the Tang Dynasty?"
"You have to rely on yourself to conquer the world, and you can't count on these princes!"
"The soldiers of the princes must also be used..."
"Oh! The princes can follow you or Chen Dexing. If the heavenly way is not evil, they might be able to follow you!"
"How can the Heavenly Daoism be not evil?" Li Yu muttered, and then said, "The great monk Yongxin from Shaolin Temple, Qinghe Zhenren from Quanzhen Sect, and Kong Shi'an from Qufu (the 52nd generation grandson of Confucius) are all said to be cults."
"They know nothing!"
"Mother, you...you are the queen mother now, and you can't say such indecent words."
"What's wrong with the Queen Mother? The Queen Mother is not allowed to curse?" Yang Miaozhen hummed twice, showed caution, and said slowly, "Anyway, I don't believe that the wine and meat monk, the old man with the bull nose, and the nerd named Kong can win the defense... You, you should prepare to deal with the great prosperity of the Tiandao Sect early!"
"How is that possible?" Li Yu snorted, "If the Tiandao Sect wins the defense, I will ban the Tiandao Sect on the territory of the Tang Dynasty with one order!"
